Ya, in that type of boat you're pretty-much standing on the bottom of the
hull. Nice lines. Seems to make the most of the available space in a good
looking package.
That's true, generally when people come aboard mine they remark "Holy
crap! That's a long way down!"

What Ray Wall did was to design a boat with high topsides, and then hide the
height with a wide dark shear stripe. That made it unnecessary to stick on a
big cabin top. The design has much of the kind of interior volume you'd get
from a raised deck. The real trick was to get some decent performance with
such high topsides. Hence the fairly deep fin keel.


Mine has a blue hull, small white boot stripe..... but does go well for
a boat with 24' LWL...
